I looks like I won't be needing MetaFrame anymore. _________________________________ Hector Minero NSWCDD Code K55 Ph: (540)653-8859 Fax:(540)653-8575 -----Original Message----- From: Steve Snyder [mailto:steven_snyder@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 6:06 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: .NET and Citrix Terminal Services in Windows Server 2003 (formerly called .NET server, hence the source of some confusion with the .NET web-based apps framework), will provide a lot of functionality currently only provided by ICA - client drive mapping, client serial port mapping, sound mapping, 24-bit color, higher resolutions, etc. (just review all of the currently useless options in the WinXP RDP client), as well as supporting some non-Windows clients. In addition, you can load-balance terminals servers. A really cool feature is if a session gets disconnected, it can reconnect to the same session but on a different server (courtesy of Session Directory). It appears, however, that it will not have any equivalents to all of the neat Enterprise Management tools that you get with XPe. So for a company not needing enterprise management tools, ICA won't offer much advantage over RDP - which is why Citrix has been lately putting so much emphasis on their other value-adding products like CSG and NFue Elite.
